10 Quick Tips On Item Upgrader

From Infinity Wiki

World of Warcraft Item Upgrades

Item upgrades are a way to boost the stats of an item. Based on the type of upgrade item it could raise an item's Mark level or Rarity, as well as boost other stats.

Each item has a track for upgrading it. Each upgrade increases the cost of the next one by a specific amount.

Item Level

When an item is upgraded, its stats are increased in value. The value is the sum of all the upgraded perks (attack, magic attack and defense). Upgrades to items can be costly dependent on the upgrader and the kind of upgrade you decide to make. This is due to the variety of perks that have to be changed in order to upgrade an item.

The level of an item is a commonly used measure of power, and is visible on all tooltips of items. It can also be used as a gating requirement while waiting for dungeons, scenarios, and raids, as well as to limit the amount of PvP gear players can wear (since PvP is limited to an lower level). Players can see their average item level in their character sheet.

When deciding to purchase or sell equipment players can evaluate the level of an item upgrader kit. It's a sign of the damage and quality. Comparing items in a vendor's stock can be done by using the item's level.

The item level can be checked by pressing the ALT key on PC or using the left stick (L3) on XB1 and PS4. This will display the item's full description, including ilvl. You can also find it by hovering over an item and typing /itemlevel into chat.

There are several theories about how the level of an item is calculated. One theory is that the level is a number that comes from a formula that calculates how much an item's stats are worth. It is based on the fact that different benefits are valued differently and that gems found in sockets boost the value of the item. This process could result in a calculated value for the item's level, which is usually close to Blizzard's actual item level.

This is not the only thing that affects the level of an item. The location of where the item was dropped can alter its stats. For example it can add a level to the item's haste, or crit rating. Items dropped in higher-level instances will have a higher ilvl.

item upgrading Stats

The stats of an item can make or break an item for players. The game utilizes them in a variety of ways to encourage players not to restrict themselves to a particular weapon and to encourage them to try out other weapons. The stat mods of an weapon increase the base stats. These stat mods are then increased by a player's level.

Item upgrades add to that by increasing certain stats on the item. The rarity of an item determines the cost of upgrading. For instance, a gray or white item will only be upgraded once, whereas an item with rare tiers will be upgraded several times at higher prices.

Affixes are a different method to alter the stats of an item. These are special stat boosts that can be added to an item by the player and they come in all sizes and shapes. Affixes are used to give items extra damage, special abilities (such as revitalizing dead or reducing cooling downs) or to make them unique by putting a name on them.

All affixes are currently re-rolled by selecting them in the upgrade menu and pressing the green button. This will cost a certain amount of gold and other items. These can be used as upgrade gauges just like the other rerolling methods.

In addition to Rerolling affixes and rerolls, players can select which of the available stats they want to keep on an item when it is upgraded. The possible ranges of stats for an item are determined by the level of the item, but all items are guaranteed to have at minimum one stat within the specified range, unless it's a unique item or a God roll from a boss of a raid.

Another thing that could be altered by adding an option to upgrade the equipment without rolling the affixes or choosing which stats to boost. However, as with the base equipment, this would have to be carried out on a per-item level, and the interface for item comparison would not display all the possible stats gained or lost at once.

Item Luck

A player's Luck stat stacks up to increase the chances of item discoveries, the properties spawned on loot drops, and the intensity of those properties. However, it doesn't directly impact damage or the ability to upgrade items. It gives players an opportunity to get better equipment earlier in the game. This is more useful in the early game, since players tend to prioritize the scaling of weapons and defenses over raw damage gains.

In addition to influencing the discovery of items, Luck also increases the chance of success when upgrading items with the Blacksmith. This is not to be confused with the Blacksmith’s overall chances of upgrading that increase with each new level of item. It is also possible to be increased with the use of anti-materials like the Scroll of Strength and a Jewel of Blessing.

Armor, shields and weapons come with the default Luck value of 40. These items can be improved with golden ingots or spined leather (depending on their material type) to add another 40 luck or to increase the Luck of an item up to 140.

Certain items, like the Hollow-infused weapon, can also be equipped to increase the damage of any ability that causes damage by 5percent. These items are available in the shop or created with the right ingredients.

Item Failure

Item upgrades are a costly process and not every upgrade will be successful. However, there are some cash shop items that allow players to increase their chances of success or even prevent them from losing an item if the upgrade is unsuccessful.

The success rate of an upgrade is displayed in the Honing UI. The percentage is the probability of successfully upgrading an item. This can be increased by using Additional Materials or Special Materials. There are limitations to the extent to which the success rates can be improved, and the overall chance of an upgrade failing cannot be greater than 100%..

The Luck of an item can also influence the success of an upgrade. Each item has a base success rate of 25% and every item with Luck increases that chance by an additional 5%.

Note that upgrades to items are rendered above the items in the inventory therefore enchantment glints and other effects may be obstructed by them. If you wish to disable the upgrade overlays, the config option decoration.renderUpgradeOverlays can be set to False in the Item Upgrader CORE client config.
